Review of Taza, Son of Cochise

I wanted to like this movie, but it was pretty difficult to do so, as it is mediocre at best. A young Rock Hudson looks like a hunky movie star as he runs around showing off his bronze muscular body. However, once he opens his mouth, he just doesn't cut it as a Native American. The dialogue is basically a cartoon character of what most people think Indians sound like. Rock tries his best, but comes across unrealistic. Even the dramatic fight scene between Hudson and an extra appears cartoonish. Rock is stiff, wooden and devoid of any emotion, but like I said, he does try. The rest of the cast isn't much better, but the fault lies in the ridiculous dialogue. If you like Rock Hudson, the film is passable, if not, forget the whole thing.
